Continual Lane Closures for Work on Peters Creek Parkway Bridge

Contractors close inner lanes along a small section of Business 40 under Peters Creek Parkway Bridge. This work is the first segment of construction for the project.

About the Project

The first section of interstate highway in North Carolina, Business 40 through downtown Winston-Salem has been amazingly durable and has required little maintenance, but it can no longer accommodate the growing traffic demands of the area. Improvements will modernize this vital stretch of interstate and create a safer, longer-lasting roadway for the future.
